A removable enclosure is created to keep the injured chicken with the flock.

I received a call this past Saturday from a fellow chicken keeper that lives a few miles away from me. While she was out running errands somehow one of her chicken, Midnight, had injured her comb. Unbeknownst to her, the rest of the flock quickly spotted the injury and attacked Midnight. Within no time, they had created a large deep bleeding crater at the base of her comb. Thankfully, her husband heard the ruckus and went outside to investigate. He immediately separated Midnight into a cardboard box for safety. Unsure what to do, she called me.
